CKA study material · question 501 of 1000
You are asked to design a disaster-recovery procedure that can rebuild the entire cluster state after every control plane node is lost. Backing up which component captures all of that state?
Show the answer
Answer: C. etcd
etcd holds every object the API server persists, so an etcd snapshot is a snapshot of the cluster. Static pod manifests cover only the control plane's own containers, and the watch cache is derived state that is rebuilt from etcd.
